Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings
Chapter 73 Three People in the Rainstorm
"Really? Can you help us?" Liu Yan's voice trembled slightly. "We want to go with you. But Nana is too weak right now; she can't even stand up straight."
Qin Chuan entered the room, walked to the bed, squatted down, and glanced at Dilina's condition.
Upon closer inspection, Dilina's condition appeared even worse than from a distance. Her lips were cracked and bleeding, her cheeks were sunken, and the skin on her arms was loose and sagging—clearly symptoms of severe dehydration.
Even in this state, her features are still striking. High nose bridge, thick eyelashes, and prominent brow bones—she has the kind of face that would draw attention wherever she goes.
Qin Chuan used his pupil technique to scan her physical information.
Low body temperature, rapid heart rate, and very low blood sugar. Typical symptoms of starvation, dehydration, and mild hypothermia. Delaying treatment could lead to serious problems.
"No problem. We're all survivors, it's only right that we help each other. Wait a moment, I'll go get something first."
Qin Chuan stood up and walked to the living room area of the wooden house.
In the corner of the storage room were several earthenware jars filled with coarse salt that had been dried earlier. Qin Chuan opened the lids and looked inside; there was quite a bit of salt, enough to last for a while.
He took two cans of coarse salt and then looked through the other supplies.
Lin Shishi's usual bone needles and small stone knife were still there, wrapped in a cloth and placed on a wooden shelf in the corner. Qin Chuan put them away as well.
After packing his things, Qin Chuan returned to the room where Liu Yan and Dilina were staying.
"The stuff is packed. But there's a problem. It's about five kilometers to the other campsite. It's dark and the road is slippery, and the wind is getting stronger. If the two of you can't keep up, it'll be very difficult to walk there."
A troubled expression appeared on Liu Yan's face.
"Yes, especially Nana, she can't walk at all. But if we don't walk, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and if the cabin collapses, we probably won't survive the night."
Qin Chuan glanced at the structure of the wooden house. Although the plank wood was sturdy, the way it was pieced together was relatively simple, and its wind resistance was limited. If a typhoon really came, this wooden house wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Moreover, even if the wooden house doesn't collapse, prolonged exposure to such temperature and humidity can lead to hypothermia, which is fatal.
"I have an idea," Qin Chuan said. "I'll carry both of you on my back. It's only five kilometers, it'll only take a few minutes."
Liu Yan's expression froze.
She looked at Qin Chuan, opened her mouth, closed it, and then opened it again.
"What did you say? A few minutes? Five kilometers?"
"I wasn't wrong."
Liu Yan sized Qin Chuan up and down. This man was over 1.85 meters tall, indeed muscular and well-defined. But could he really carry two adult women five kilometers in a storm, through a dark forest, in just a few minutes?
How is that possible?
"Are you sure you didn't say something wrong?" Liu Yan asked.
Qin Chuan shook his head: "You're right. This is no longer Blue Star, nor is it an ordinary island. And I've gained a special ability: I can run very fast and I'm very strong."
"Special ability?" Liu Yan's mind couldn't process it for a moment.
"Well, once we get to the camp, our friends there will explain it to you. Time is short, let's go first."
Liu Yan hesitated for a few seconds.
The wind outside was getting stronger, and the wooden walls of the cabin were starting to creak. One plank was swaying back and forth in the wind, as if it might fall off at any moment.
There was no other choice.
"Okay, then I'll discuss it with Nana." After saying that, Liu Yan bent down, helped Dilina up, and whispered in her ear,
"Nana, this man next to you is Qin Chuan, also a survivor. He said he can take us to another camp where there is food and water. Let's go with him."
Dilina barely opened her eyes, glanced at Qin Chuan standing beside her, and nodded weakly.
"Thank you, may I ask your name?" Dilina's voice was soft and her breathing was unsteady.
"My name is Qin Chuan, you can call me Brother Chuan."
"Okay, Brother Chuan."
Qin Chuan walked to the bed and squatted down with his back to Dilina.
"Come on up."
Liu Yan helped Dilina onto Qin Chuan's back. Her hands rested on Qin Chuan's shoulders, but she didn't have much strength.
"Hold on tighter, or you'll fall when we run," Qin Chuan reminded him.
Dilina tightened her arms and barely managed to wrap them around Qin Chuan's neck.
"What should I do?" Liu Yan stood to the side, looking at Qin Chuan's back which was already occupied by Dilina, and was a little worried.
Qin Chuan thought for a moment: "You climb onto Nana's back, like a human pyramid. That way you can also help shield her from the rain."
"Is this okay? Don't you think it's too heavy?"
"No. I can lift 800 pounds right now."
Liu Yan looked surprised again. But at this point, she had no time to think about it anymore.
"Okay." Liu Yan gritted her teeth and carefully climbed onto Dilina's back.
The three of them were piled on top of each other. Qin Chuan was at the bottom, Dilina was on Qin Chuan's back, and Liu Yan was on Dilina's back.
Liu Yan's chest was pressed tightly against Dilina's back, and her hands reached out from both sides to support their lower bodies.
"Okay, hold the salt shaker for me."
Liu Yan freed one hand and sandwiched the two sealed salt jars between herself and Dilina.
"Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."
After saying this, Qin Chuan strode out.
Liu Yan felt the wind in her ears suddenly turn into a shrill whistle.
The rain no longer fell drop by drop on my face, but instead turned into streaks of water that swept over me.
The trees on both sides rushed past, turning into blurry shadows. The mud beneath his feet also receded rapidly, and with each step Qin Chuan took, he could feel his entire body momentarily lifted into the air.
Liu Yan's eyes widened in surprise.
She had never ridden in such a fast "vehicle" in her life.
The wind filled her mouth, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Slow down, slow down! Don't crash into the tree!" Liu Yan shouted.
"It's alright, I can still see even when it's dark," Qin Chuan's voice came back from the front, steady and calm.
Only one thought was running through Liu Yan's mind.
Who exactly is he? This speed is beyond human capabilities. Carrying two people on his back, through a storm, in the pitch-black forest, it's like he's been given a cheat code.
Dilina lay on Qin Chuan's back, bouncing up and down, but Qin Chuan's back was broad and stable, and she didn't have to exert too much effort to keep her balance.
Her face was pressed against Qin Chuan's shoulder, inhaling his scent, a mixture of rain and sweat. The muscles in his shoulder contracted and relaxed rhythmically beneath his skin.
Dilina muttered to herself: This person's physical abilities are outrageous.
The dense forest turned pitch black in the storm, the treetops were blown about by the wind, and the branches waved wildly in the air. Occasionally, lightning would strike, illuminating the entire forest for a fleeting moment before plunging it back into darkness.
Qin Chuan ran effortlessly in this environment. His pupil technique was scanning at full power, providing a clear view of the terrain within a kilometer radius ahead. He avoided fallen tree trunks and puddles of water in advance.
